British School of Osteopathy's community clinics

During the final years of their intensive five year course, supervised osteopathy students give free treatments to a variety of groups who could not otherwise afford their services.  It gives the students the breadth of experience to deal with all the situations they may encounter during their careers.

What sort of organisations work with this project?

BSO provide two weekly clinics for people living with HIV.  Students also go out into the community providing treatment for the homeless at Southwark's Manna Centre, for young children at local schools as well as for older people.

The British School of Osteopathy says 'we would be delighted to share best practice information from our work with patients, as part of our mission to promote osteopathy and make osteopathic treatment affordable and accessible to everyone.'
